Description

This is the second volume of the complete concertos op.8 ''Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Invenzione'', which ARTS now presents on Hybrid SACD with 5+1 channels.

ARTS is proud to offer these Vivaldi masterpieces in an exciting interpretation by one of the leading Italian ensembles performing on original instruments. A refreshing, brilliant and virtuoso performance which is presented by some of the best Italian soloists, such as the violinist Stefano Montanari, the oboist Paolo Grazzi and the harpsichordist Ottavio Dantone, who also conducts the worldwide well-known ensemble Accademia Bizantina.

This recording of ''The Four Seasons'' and of all other famous concertos of Op.8 is characterized by the utilisation of a large and varied continuo and by an energetic, fanciful and innovating interpretation.

The first six concertos of the collection are offered on Volume 1 (47564-8 - ''The Four Seasons'', ''La Tempesta di mare'' and ''Il Piacere'') and the further six concertos, including also the two oboe concertos, on Volume 2 (47565-8).

MDR Figaro (28.03.2008)


CD Tipp September 2007

"eine ganz außergewöhnliche Aufnahme....Zum einen spielen die italienischen Virtuosen sehr lebendig auf Originalinstrumenten aus Vivaldis Zeit. Zum anderen besticht diese Hybrid-CD mit einem kristallklaren 5.1-Surround-Klang, der die Instrumente erst richtig lebendig werden lässt, wie dies herkömmliche Stereo-Aufnahmen kaum schaffen"

"the ensemble plays with energy and a lot of unexpected dynamics. The sound is intense, brooding, agitated even - a result of the period instruments on the one hand, but undoubtedly of the unity of the ensemble as well, which can let go for more atmospheric passages and return to a tight and powerful forte in the very next moment"

A beautiful vision of Vivaldi's opus 8. (Jean-Jacques Millo)

klassik.com (15.11.2007)


"That art also and especially in detail can happen, is especially presente through this feast for the ears"

"Ein fulminaler Geiger, ein Oboist, dessen Klang die Seele wärmt, ein Ensemble, das sensibler und inspirierender nicht begleiten könnte unter der Leitung eines Cembalisten, der delikat und unprätentiös, wenngleich sensationell den Part des basso coninuo ausziert, was in dieser Art seinesgleichen sucht. Dass Kunst auch und vor allem im Detail passiert, dafür steht dieser Ohrenschmaus"
